Kansas City W and Denver Summit W meet at CPKC Stadium on Saturday, 26 September, with a 16:30 UTC kick-off in the NWSL Women Group Stage. Three points split the two mid-table sides, with Kansas City sitting eighth on 38 points and Denver Summit tenth on 35 from 25 matches each.

Kansas City arrive into this match having taken 8 points from their last five, a run that includes back-to-back wins over Bay FC and North Carolina Courage followed by a 2-2 draw with Orlando Pride and a 2-0 defeat to San Diego Wave. Their record across the season reads 11 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, with 39 goals scored and 36 conceded.

Denver Summit carry the stronger recent momentum, collecting 11 points from their last five matches. That sequence includes three wins — most recently a 2-1 victory over Seattle Reign — sandwiched around two draws with Bay FC and Angel City. Over the full campaign, Denver Summit have won 9, drawn 8 and lost 8, scoring 41 goals and conceding 33.

The head-to-head record from earlier in 2026 favours Kansas City, who won 3-0 at Denver Summit on 4 July. That result provides the only prior meeting on record in the fact sheet, and Kansas City will look to that fixture as the sides square off again in what the table frames as a tight mid-table encounter.
